Determining QTreeWidget parent

[wysota]

Nice spaghetti code, however you can do this:

QTreeWidgetItem *item = ...;
while(item->parent()) item = item->parent();
int index = TreeWidget->invisibleRootItem()->indexOf(item);
switch(index) {
  case 0: ...; break;
  case 1: ...; break;
  // etc.
}

QTreeWidgetItem *item = ...;
while(item->parent()) item = item->parent();
int index = TreeWidget->invisibleRootItem()->indexOf(item);
switch(index) {
  case 0: ...; break;
  case 1: ...; break;
  // etc.
}

Thanks - that seems a lot more elegant

Here's some code I use to expand the tree all the way to the root.

It's a recursive function that accepts a QTreeWidgetItem *item pointer and travels up the tree, starting as position of *item, and expands all parents in the *item's branch until it reaches the *item's topLevelItem.

void MyWidget::expandTree(QTreeWidgetItem *item) {
    QTreeWidgetItem *parent = item->parent();
    if (parent) {
       parent->setExpanded(true);
       int topLevel = table->indexOfTopLevelItem(parent);
       if (topLevel!=-1) {
        QTreeWidgetItem *root = table->topLevelItem(topLevel);
        root->setExpanded(true);
       } else {
           if (item->parent()) {
               expandTree(item->parent());
           }
       }
    }
}

void MyWidget::expandTree(QTreeWidgetItem *item) {
    QTreeWidgetItem *parent = item->parent();
    if (parent) {
       parent->setExpanded(true);
       int topLevel = table->indexOfTopLevelItem(parent);
       if (topLevel!=-1) {
        QTreeWidgetItem *root = table->topLevelItem(topLevel);
        root->setExpanded(true);
       } else {
           if (item->parent()) {
               expandTree(item->parent());
           }
       }
    }
}
